Furor Quotes

A mind of a certain size can feel only exasperation toward a city. Nothing can drive me more fully into despair.

Great surfaces of vaults, vaults cemented into the earth, vaults set out in compartments, forming vaults to eat in, vaults for sex, vaults on the watch, ready to open fire. How sad, sad... (Henri Michaux)
